Agree with your list although i think Beyer needs to be added to the retired list.

Yeah was debating that one, he looked ok in return, need to see him against a decent opp to decide, he still looks young and is in shape

[Spicoli]

Good list....Not to sound like Clinton....but it depends on what your definition of have "It" Is.I can honestly see Casamayor / Jones Jr getting sparked cold in the near future with consideration to whomever they face.They show/have shown recent signs of being hit (much) and effected badly.

I'd add Mesi,Morrison, Cardona off the top for Should hang em up Asap's

U think Beyer is in better shape than BHOP?
I think the nard would beat Beyer easily yet u think he should retire and Markus shouldnt?

Yeah the more I think about it the more I think he should be moved to the should retire list

With Hopkins it's sort of funny. I mean sure you can say he should retire because he can't fight as well as he once could, and more importantly isn't entertaining to watch anymore... But the thing is, he takes less punishment in fighting at an elite level than several of the guys you say still have it, take against basically anyone. I mean Hopkins must retire, but Casamayor still has it? Am I missing something? You think Hopkins would get his ass knocked out of the ring and forced to go life and death against a limited brawler like Katsidis? Honestly Hopkins is just such an enigma. He'll always find a way to keep himself out of harms way until he literally has NOTHING left. I really think Hopkins could fight at an elite level for longer than basically anyone you have on the has it list. All of those guys could potentially be within one tough fight of retirement.. Hopkins basically won't allow anyone to give him a tough fight. And I do realize he is 43... Just such a tricky bastard.

The guys you've listed that should retire could still beat about half the guys in the divisions they are in respectively. So it kind of depends on what level opponent they are fighting. I agree if you mean fighting for top status, but B-Hop, Tito, and Morales just came of decent performances against champions, they could still fight on and I wouldn't question them for a little while. Holyfield is a shell of his former self and needs to call it a day. Unfortunately I think he probably will continue on....Toney is pretty much done I just cant see him getting in proper shape anymore. Castillejo was in a good competitive fight but really took a big shot, he definately needs a long time off after that and at his age a layoff means it's probably over.

I would have Calzaghe on the old guys that still have it and Barrera (MAB)on the retired list.
